What I was wondering was why the 'B' > extension Makefile.PL wasn't written to include the B::C module > automatically as I had expected it would. But you see that lib/auto/B/C/C.a *is* generated. MakeMaker *did* it job. A followup `make perl' in MakeMaker directory *finds* the archive. MakeMaker part is fine. But the root makefile uses a botched algorithm to scan for *actually built* modules (as opposed to modules *requested to be built*). This is why the proper solution is 'b' (in my original message): just ask MakeMaker to build Perl. > I have not thought about it carefully, but would it make sense to > use miniperl to generate the */*/*.a list instead of the shell? My algorithm "b" is much better. Just change to ext/perl, and ask MakeMaker to build perl - it already knows how to do it. Hope this helps, IlyaThread Previous | Thread Next
